The Royal Opera House aims to enrich people`s lives through opera and ballet. It seeks to be accessible and engaging, to develop audiences across the UK and to break new ground in the presentation of lyric theatre. As a charity, we could not maintain our reputation, the range of our work, or our digital presence, without the support of our business partners, sponsors, philanthropists and members. In addition to the performances of our work on stage at our heritage theatre site and other venues, and our cinema programme, we also offer learning and participation initiatives for children and adults from across the UK.
